As far as Urban music goes, very few newbies can say they shine as bright as Ne-Yo‘s artist, B.Smyth.
Dominating Urban airwaves with his debut single ‘Leggo’, this year has seen him fast become one of his genre’s fastest rising stars, after being picked by 106 & Park’s video rotation.
Now, as to showcase the voice that spearheaded his label rise, he has taken on Rihanna‘s ballad, ‘Stay’.
Peep the hearth throb in action below…
With R&B’s current dilema leaving many of its supporters disheartened, performances like these breathe hope back into the field- and more specifically, its male arena.
Of course, while his take on the cut would have been perfect had he shown more restraint, the quality of his tone is enough to have us anticipating his debut album and how the coming months will see soar even further.
So, until he does…

My little sister is in love with him but I never liked him until I saw this. Don’t end up like Chris though, start off nice but then fuck up later. You’re too talented for that.

I like him, but he was yelling too much. Some songs need a gentle touch.

This kid has more vocal rage in his farts then Chris Brown. Brown can barley carry a note.

Its probably because he changed the key of the song a bunch of times. So it was a little off from the original.

Ne-Yo signed someone that mirrors his ugliness.
